If you don’t want to smoke, don’t. Don’t push your agenda on others who do, very simple really.

More gibberish; the FDA just got control of tobacco this year. Meh.

Marleneb is clearly a troll just making things up.

Google and 20 seconds;

“But Kruger agrees biology need not be destiny: “We can control behavior. We can do things that are good for our health.”

Thing one: Don’t smoke. A recent Norwegian study showed that 41% of male heavy smokers were dead by 70, vs. 14% of non-smokers.”

No one wants to convince you that smoking is good for you, but one does wish to convince you that it is one’s own choice, and not the governments or the big pharmaceutical companies that sell their own nicotine! Nicotine itself is not harmful, it is the additives that the FDA allows this is harmful.

Guys who are arguing for the health benefits of smoking: there’s no way your going to convince me that putting smoke in your lungs is a good thing. On the other hand, the argument that it is a cost to society has been shot down as well, as it costs less money for a smoker who dies early despite the costs of smoking related illnesses.

When I see pictures like this one, I can’t help but wonder the number of soldiers for which this picture was the last.

Well, I see he’s still committed to promoting soccer in Korea (the World Cup is next year, you know). Good for him.

A Listener,

Yeah, those cheeky North Koreans. They probably thought we’d never notice by launching half a dozen scuds.

I’m guessing they launched the only one they had last time, or they were worried the US, Japan, or South Korea would shoot it down (would have been a great loss of face for them).

Interesting stuff.

I take pride in the fact that the man who was know to some as “the 34th man” of the Korean Declaration of Independence was a compatriot.
